Nature & fruit praline moulds
There are 20 products.
With nature and fruit praline moulds you can cast chocolates that look like little works of art from the garden, the forest and the sea. The range includes 3D apple, strawberry and pear moulds, plus bananas, butterflies, bouquets, several flower and blossom designs, a sunshine motif, true-to-life coffee and cocoa beans, peanuts, walnuts, leaves, star anise and starfish. Most moulds come from Martellato, complemented by designs from Pavoni and Decora. Many are made of rigid polycarbonate, such as the butterflies, starfish, bananas, bouquet, the 3D fruits and all the coffee bean moulds, and give the chocolate a beautiful shine.
Tips for true-to-life chocolates
- Colour first: paint details such as strawberry seeds, leaves or flower centres with coloured cocoa butter before pouring in the tempered chocolate.
- Clean release: polish the mould with cotton wool beforehand and let the pralines set fully in the fridge, so they release easily and stay glossy.
- A filling that tells the story: coffee ganache in the coffee bean, peanut praliné in the peanut or fruit ganache in the apple hint at the centre before the first bite.
Frequently asked questions about nature and fruit praline moulds
How do you cast 3D apples, strawberries and pears?
The 3D moulds consist of two parts. Decorate both halves, fit them together precisely and pour the couverture in through the opening. Once the shells have set, fill them, leaving about 2 mm free at the top so you can seal them neatly with couverture.
Which coffee bean moulds are available?
Three versions: true-to-life coffee beans with 24 cavities, coffee beans with 18 cavities and mini coffee beans with 80 cavities, which also make a pretty decoration on cakes, cappuccino desserts or tiramisu. The cocoa bean mould rounds off the theme.
